DYGONG

 

Rapid, spontaneous interviews between members of DYGONG.

Interview at Jazzkælderen between Christian and Nicolai.

[Christian] What's it like being in a group when you, as a composer, are used to working on your own?
[Nicolai] Exciting, frustrating, uncomfortable, great to see how collaborations work out though, as you're not really accustomed to it.

[Christian] Tell me, how did we arrive at the name DYGONG?
[Nicolai] I looked it up in a foreign dictionary. We were tired of the grand aesthetic names that most new ensembles go carrying around.

[Nicolai] What is your dream with DYGNOG?
[Christian] My dream is to conquer Russia.

[Nicolai]  By joining DYGONG, do you expect to score some women?

[Christian] But of course I do. Stupid question.


Interview by phone between Christian and Simon

[Christian] What can DYGONG do that other ensembles can not?
[Simon] Do you mind if I take a piss while I answer this question? (Goes away for 5 seconds). Well, we can create innovative concerts. Furthermore, we can create an integrated package.

[Christian] Is there any money in playing with DYGONG?
[Simon] No.

[Christian] Our next concert is not in Literaturhaus (our regular, local scene). What's it like to get out and attract a new audience?
[Simon] I believe it will be good. We were well received in Oslo last year, although we were not entirely satisfied ourselves. Generally, I think Norwegian audiences are very open.

[Christian] What is your relationship to Norway?
[Simon] It's warm. My father is currently working in this place called Storslett, where I experienced the nature as magnetic and refreshing. In a vanishingly short time I even knew a Norwegian girl (... ..... ... .......).

Fictitious telephone interview between Simon and Regin:

[Regin] This is what you'll never understand. Life must be lived as the wind blows proudly through the sails. It seems to me your hair is like a herd of goats waving across a hill on Fyn somewhere.

[Simon] Would you describe yourself as a melodic composer?
[Regin] Basically, I think that all composers write melodies. They just don't know it themselves. But I don't really think your question can be satisfactorily answered until you define what a melody actually is. And everything you say I can disprove with my huge vid and incredible intellect, bought from a crazy sailor, back in the days when I was an adolescent.
